Pastor Bolaji Idowu explains why lending money to friends is wrong, stating that it can easily lead to the loss of a friendship. He shared this perspective during a program called Filling Financial Gaps as the lead pastor of Harvesters International Church. He believes it is not advisable to lend out your savings to others, especially when they haven’t been disciplined in managing their own finances. Pastor Bolaji Idowu chooses not to lend money to others, preferring to give what he can spare without expecting repayment. According to him, many borrowers know how to portray themselves as victims and use emotional manipulation when it comes time to repay the money.
